I'm Done Trying
I'm done trying to squeeze out drops of creativity
From my beaten, abused, and exhausted mind
I try writing words on my page
But they don't even rhyme
And as I slowly feel my wither
My sinking back to dust
I wonder who I can depend on;
I wonder who I trust
Not that I don't trust you
You, I, and trust just don't mix
It's not that I'm not friends with you
This just isn't worth it to fix
And I don't mean to offend you
Because I really would take offense
If I so much as touched your ego
And caused those cracks and dents
And I'm sorry for casting the rock
I couldn't see that you are glass
How was I supposed to know
Through you my rock would pass?
Was I supposed to know
Exactly what should happen?
Maybe so or maybe not
But away from me you're passing
I don't really want to let you go
Please take that as the truth
But frankly I've had enough of you
Begone, and take your youth
Leave your Youth of awe and wonder
And take the immaturity away
I really can't be subtle anymore
I DON'T WANT YOU TO STAY
